lyrics

the perpetual arc-light of him
i've been exhaling his words into light and mist
in that moment you thought you saw bliss
crystal patterns contort on the carpet floor

it was an evening exquisite and low
twilight glow spilling forth from your lounge window
our hair turned to straw and spun gold
the air was all incense and campfire smoke

awoke to inky black and silver
watercolour paintstrokes swept across the heavens
the distant glimmer of a winter sun
the unknowable strength of the atlantic's lungs
i'm stepping countless miles of strata
last nights blizzard clings to twisting branches
the distant glimmer of a winter sun
the unknowable strength of the atlantic's lungs

the dawn rolled in like translucent silk
a spectral show whilst i'm sipping on peppermint
feeling restless, and everywhere bound
iridescence intriguing like nothing else

morning sun in that moment propelled
rising patterns of fog to some fractal realm
speckled green under slate grey clouds
in this place i am new, in this place i'm found

smoke and spun gold
